Today we went to the International Church Service. It was kind of emotional for me (Angela). I just realized that only foreign passport holders can visit a Christian church...legally. We are so blessed in the states to have the freedom to worship how we choose.

Then we went to the Jade Factory. It is Chinese tradition that mothers pass onto their daughters a jade bracelet at the age of 18. So in keeping with the tradition we bought one for each of the girls. Of course I got one too (yes, that was Brian's idea!).

We also visited the Great Wall of China. We burned a few calories racing to the top. We made it right past the first tower to the next landing. Ariel was the first to climb. Brian had to carry her on his back on the way down though.


We had lunch and dinner as well but it's the same thing....Chinese food! We are already getting tired of it. They serve the same food at every restaurant.

Tomorrow is the BIG DAY!!
